Transcription
Cole informs Sloane ‘Mr Gyles Bonnaford’s wife’ had shown him ‘a great rarity’. Cole sent her to wait on Sloane to show it to him. William Cole (1635-1716) was a physician. He was a regular correspondent of Thomas Sydenham and a friend of John Locke. Cole moved to London in the 1690s to set up a practice and was admitted a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1694. In 1712 he was made an Elect of the Royal College of Physicians and shortly thereafter he retired to the country (Anita Guerrini, ‘Cole, William (1635–1716)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/5862, accessed 23 July 2014]).
